Abstract

This contribution presents an architecture and engineering approach for modular automation systems that meet the requirements of modular production plants. The architecture is based on the German guideline VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 that describes the interfaces between process modules and the process orchestration layer. The approach has been tested within an industrial pilot application of Bayer AG. The novel automation engineering approach as well as the results of the pilot are shown in this contribution.
